However, since he is out here, he wants to go back to last Monday’s RAW and talk about Roman Reigns. They had the perfect setup. It was going to be the demise of Reigns. Reigns must have been shaking in his boots last Monday. Reigns knew he had no chance of beating them and was scared to death.

McMahon wants to talk about the person Reigns begged to save him, The Undertaker. McMahon has fought Undertaker before and is ready for him. Last Monday, Undertaker surprised them.

To be honest, he doesn’t give a damn about The Undertaker. McIntyre heard a rumor and is here to fight. An “Undertaker” chant fires up. McIntyre says if Undertaker is in the building, he can either march down the ramp or magically appear in the ring so they can tell him they’re not afraid.

An “Undertaker” chant fires up. Undertaker says, “Roman Reigns never asked me for my help. That’s not who he is, but if you need answers to the ‘why’, let me explain to you who I am. I am and have been the reaper of wayward souls for a long time and I’m here to collect your souls. Now Shane, you had my respect — a little — for a while. I mean, you gave me everything you had at Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania… and you actually lived to tell about it. But just like most mortal men, you fell victim to your own greed and ego. You see, you may be the best in this world… but where I’m sending you to, you’ll be nothing more than another couple of lost souls suffering the torment and torture of the acrid stench… of death. That will be for all of eternity. You two will never Rest… In… Peace.”

Undertaker does the throat slash taunt while his music plays. McMahon and McIntyre look unimpressed, but they still walk off.

Backstage: Ricochet, Gallows & Anderson, AJ Styles

Backstage: Paul Heyman, Street Profits

Paul Heyman walks up to Charly Caruso backstage. Heyman says he is the advocate for Mr. Money in the Bank 2019 Brock Lesnar.
